The call is expected to go beyond the ZMG, to recognize women from the regions
For the fourth consecutive year, the Local Congress has presented the recognition to outstanding women of the State.
Héctor Ruiz Mejía (Jocotepec).- For the fourth consecutive year, the Jalisco State Congress will recognize women who have stood out for their work and struggle for their rights. This year it will seek to open the call to the interior of Jalisco.
The «Hermila Galindo Acosta» award, established in honor of the Mexican writer, politician, suffragette feminist and journalist, seeks to recognize those who work to protect the rights of domestic workers, for gender equality, and against violence, as well for as environmental issues, among other areas.
The Deputy for District 17 and President of the Legislative Commission on Substantive Equality and Gender, María Dolores López Jara, said that this year they will seek to extend the call for entries beyond the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, with the intention of diversifying the profile of applicants.
This means that women from all municipalities of Jalisco will have the possibility of being recognized, including all those women inhabitants of the Chapala area, who have highlighted, promoted, innovated, or led the way in favor of women’s rights.
The dates for submitting applications will be from February 4 until February 25; the applications must be sent to the Commission for Substantive and Gender Equality, along with the corresponding documentation, by e-mail to: dolores.lopez@congresojal.gob.mx
The recognition will be granted as part of the commemoration of the International Women’s Day, on March 8, at 11:00 a.m. in Plenary Session, in the Congress of Jalisco.
